    Sorry to hear what you are going through. All surgeries cause scar tissue and scar tissue alone can cause pain, its not as flexible as your natural tissue or as strong and can get stiff. What people do not understand is when you get hernia surgery with mesh the mesh is not what keeps the hernia from then pushing through its the scar tissue that the mesh causes that becomes the barrier. When mesh is implanted your body pretty much trys to fight it off so it causes a lot of inflammation and then the scar tissue produces. If you look at mesh some have bigger pores and some have many small little ones, all the scar tissue grows through them. Your mesh could have also tore when you were working out, it happens a lot, I have read that some surgeons even admitted that mesh was already torn when they take it out off the package. Sometimes the inflammation just keeps building up and therefore you have pain. Some hernia specialists can read a CT scan and tell if the mesh has torn or migrated. I hope you find some answers I wish you the best of luck.
